The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her

The General's Residence in Zhenbei.

Jiang Ling was still applying a medicated face mask, leisurely watching her son stand on a chair, drawing talismans at his desk.

"Boom boom boom!"

hurried, frantic footsteps rushed into the yard.

"Ling'er, my little sister!" Second brother Wang Jing'an, dressed in the official uniform of the Imperial Guard with a sword at his waist, was sweating profusely from running so hastily.

He went inside and found Jiang Ling, his expression a mixture of anxiety, worry, and anger.

Jiang Ling sensed something, did some quick calculations, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She's in legal trouble!

"Second Uncle, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuyan saw that he was panting heavily from exhaustion and thoughtfully handed him a glass of water. "Second Uncle, have some water!"

"Thank you, little one!"

Exhausted, Wang Jing'an took a sip of water to moisten his throat before looking at Jiang Ling with a complicated and angry expression. He said, "Ling'er, come with me to the Imperial Guard Office. Fang Rujun beat the drum this morning to file a complaint, saying that you..."

Jiang Ling: "They said I killed Wang Xiuyuan."

Wang Jing'an's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he exclaimed, "Ling'er, how did you know? Could it really be you? No! It can't be you! You didn't need to do this!"

He was both angry and anxious, banging his head and spinning around: "Who knows how Wang Xiuyuan died! He was in the Duke's mansion, and you've never been there! Why are you being blamed? You're infuriating!"

"Second brother, wait a moment, I'll go wash my face and then I'll leave."

Jiang Ling remained calm and composed as she fetched a basin of water to wash off the medicated face mask.

"Jing'an, why is there a squad of Imperial Guards guarding the gate? They said they're here to arrest someone, what's the meaning of that? What were you doing in Ling'er's room?" Wang Jingkang came running after hearing the news. After learning the reason from Wang Jing'an, he was so angry that his fists cracked.

Wang Jingkang angrily retorted, "This is slander! A frame-up! Ling'er, don't be afraid! Your brother will go with you!"

"Big brother, do you think I'm scared?"

Jiang Ling casually wiped the water off her face, then took out a veil and put it on. With a cold and mocking look in her eyes, she said, "Let's go and see what's going on at the Imperial Guard's office."

……

The Imperial Guard's office was packed with people.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Jiang Ling has been captured!"

The crowd immediately parted to make way, and the people pointed at Jiang Ling, saying, "It's her! She's too cruel. She tortured her own brother to death, leaving no human form behind."

"Shh! I heard she's a Taoist priest, and she's very powerful! What if she hears us and retaliates?"

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of! If it really was her, the Prefect will surely uphold justice and chop off her head! With so many of us watching, even the Regent can't protect a murderer!"

……

Hearing the cacophony of voices, Wang Jing'an and Wang Jingkang were furious.

Jiang Ling reacted indifferently and calmly, first scanning the area inside the yamen.

Behind the desk, Qin Zhaori felt as if he were being pricked by needles in his buttocks, making him restless and looking at her with a troubled and distressed expression.

Fang Rujun knelt beside the corpse, her voice hoarse from crying, and all her tears had dried up.

Upon seeing Jiang Ling enter, Fang Rujun roared and lunged at her, baring her teeth and claws. Wang Jing'an immediately grabbed her shoulders and dragged her away. Fang Rujun struggled frantically, crying out, "Jiang Ling, you viper! Xiu Yuan is your own brother!"

“He is not.” Jiang Ling’s voice was cold and ruthless.

She glanced at Wang Xiuyuan's gruesome and terrifying corpse, her eyes flashing slightly. A face appeared in her mind, and she already knew the answer in her heart.

"Cough cough!"

Qin Zhaori cleared his throat, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted, "Silence! Jiang Ling has been brought here. Fang Rujun, what evidence do you have to prove that she murdered Wang Xiuyuan?"

"Everyone in the capital knows she is a Celestial Master, and she has mystical methods to kill! My son's death was gruesome and inhuman, isn't that enough?"

"Also, there's a green-eyed monster next to her!"

Wang Jingkang and Wang Jingan's expressions changed slightly.

Qin Zhaori looked at Jiang Ling, "Ahem! Jiang Ling, where is that monster?"

Jiang Ling: "A Jiao has already left."

"Your Excellency, did you hear that! It must have been Jiang Ling who had the monster kill my son and escape! It was her who did it!"

Fang Rujun's gaunt, sunken face was contorted with resentment and pain, her features twisted and terrifying. She screamed hysterically, "Your Excellency, you cannot shield her from her crimes just because she is the future Regent's Consort!"

"Murderers must pay with their lives!!"

People pointed and whispered at the entrance of the government office.

Qin Zhaori slammed his fist on the table. "Silence! Silence!! Words are not enough; we must have concrete evidence!"

He then looked at Jiang Ling and asked her with difficulty, "Jiang Ling, can you call that monster back?"

"There's no need. It has nothing to do with A-Jiao, and I didn't do it." Jiang Ling coldly looked at Fang Rujun's distorted face and sneered, "Fang Rujun, you've accused the wrong person. I have absolutely no interest in your lives!"

"If you want to find the real culprit, you should sue the Prince of Duanyang's Mansion!"

Fang Rujun was stunned.

Wang Jingkang's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly, "The murderer is from the Prince Duanyang's residence! Your Excellency, summon the Prince Duanyang immediately!"

"Ah this..."

Qin Zhaori scratched his head helplessly; he probably couldn't persuade a prince to do so!

Just then, Murong Yan's voice entered the yamen. He commanded with an imposing and angry tone, "Bei Yan, go and summon Prince Duanyang!"

Jiang Ling: "And Princess Duanyang."

"Alright." Murong Yan gave the order, and Bei Yan immediately led the Blood Eagle Guards into action.

"Welcome, Regent!"

Qin Zhaori stood up excitedly to greet him, feeling a sense of relief.

With the regent in charge, things will be much easier!

"No need for formalities. I'm just here to observe, don't worry about me." Murong Yan sat in his wheelchair, his handsome face tired and pale, his eyes bloodshot. He looked exhausted, having rushed over without rest after a busy night.

Jiang Ling's heart softened, and she couldn't help but advise him, "Murong Yan, you should go back and get some rest. I can handle this myself."

“You are my betrothed princess. If you are in trouble and I am not there, wouldn’t I be useless?” Murong Yan rested his chin on his hand, pinched his brow, and said in a tired and hoarse voice, “I will leave after this is resolved.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingkang and Wang Jingan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

The Regent, this prospective brother-in-law, is quite something!

Qin Zhaori and the onlookers all realized it. The rumors were true; the Regent truly loved Jiang Ling!

Fang Rujun watched, her heart filled with rage!

Why is it that her family is broken and her son is tragically killed, while that ugly, bitchy Jiang Ling gets to be happy?

"Prince Duanyang and his queen have arrived!"

"Regent, what do you want with me?" Prince Duanyang rushed over and was taken aback when he saw Jiang Ling and Fang Rujun.

"Your Majesty!"

Fang Rujun immediately rushed over, embracing Prince Duanyang and crying out in anguish, "Jiang Ling killed our son! Xiuyuan died so tragically! Your Highness, you must avenge our son!!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Prince Duanyang stared intently at the corpse, then collapsed to the ground, dizzy and disoriented. "My son!!"

Although Wang Xiuyuan has become mentally challenged, he is still able to reproduce, and he plans to help Wang Xiuyuan get married and have children to continue the bloodline.

With Wang Xiuyuan's death, his lineage is completely wiped out!

The Prince of Duanyang was heartbroken and glared at Jiang Ling with hatred: "Jiang Ling, you have caused me to be childless! I will take this to His Majesty! You must pay for my son's life!!"

"None of my business!"

Jiang Ling was too lazy to argue with an idiot.

She looked up, her eyes cold and sharp, at the woman in gorgeous clothes, "Princess Duanyang, we meet again!"
